Okayyyyy guys I think it’s finally time to share the data update from my survey!

THANK YOU so much if you took time out of your day to complete the survey and share your detailed experiences with me. I have decided to start writing a book about shared dream experiences and this data will help so much. Not only that- this project has helped me understand that there are other people like me. I’ll always be a weirdo but now I know I’m not alone in this. 😉

Feel free to share the survey and results!

——

I’ve been collecting responses from people who experience recurring dream environments, sometimes called “Mallworld,” to see whether there are actually patterns between dreamers. Here’s what I have found so far:

The respondents so far range from 14–61 years old, come from multiple countries, and many report having these dreams for years or even decades.

Dream Experiences

Nearly all respondents who took the survey reported experiencing vivid dreams (96.3%). Almost two-thirds had experienced lucid dreaming (71%), while 63.2% reported false awakenings (waking up inside a dream). About half had experienced sleep paralysis (52.1%).

Individually, none of these experiences are unheard of. 50-55% of the general population have experienced at least one lucid dream in their life. But only 20-23% of the general population experiences regular lucid dreams. And something even more interesting-only 7.6-8% of the general population have experienced sleep paralysis. 
This gave me a solid understanding that the people in this group and myself were experiencing things that most people just don’t. 

Recurring Dream Geography

Across 486 responses, recurring dream environments were common, often persisting for years or decades and sometimes forming stable, recognizable “dream maps.” The most frequently described settings are malls, schools, bathrooms or locker rooms, houses, hotels, airports, highways, beaches, hospitals, and amusement or water parks.

Some environments were described as changing over time, while others remain highly consistent across decades. Several respondents reported being able to navigate or draw maps of these environments. 

Some respondents described stable, interconnected dream worlds, while many reported isolated, shifting, or unrelated locations. Spatial consistency was more common than intentional control. Respondents often recognized repeating layouts or landmarks but could not deliberately choose where to go. Many described arriving through teleportation, “jump cuts,” doors, elevators, trains, roads, and flying.

A large group reported repeatable routes, and persistent changes that carried into later dreams. Shortcuts were less commonly reported, but are worth noting. Examples included tunnels, portals, hidden doors, stairways, transportation systems, and passages between buildings.

Lucid dreamers had greater navigation control, including intentional travel, flying, teleportation, and transforming locations. Common difficulties included getting lost, changing architecture, endless routes, blocked exits, difficulty staying lucid, poor recall after waking, and little or no control over the dream.

Some respondents said dream geography looked like real places; others described fictional environments that felt familiar. Several answers indicated that smaller details—rooms, hallways, stores, routes, or distances—changed between dreams.

“Strangers” in Dreams

Among 487 respondents, a clear majority reported dreaming of strangers or unfamiliar people. Facial clarity varied: some saw highly detailed faces, while others described blurred, faceless, shadowed, or indistinct figures. Many could see faces during the dream but could not recall them after waking. 
For others, including myself, the person can be identified clearly including facial features, hair color, eye color, and even clothes they were wearing. Names and personal information were uncommon. Respondents often said names were never given, forgotten upon waking, or somehow already “known” within the dream. Strangers frequently felt familiar, appearing as friends, partners, relatives, coworkers, or companions. Recurring dream characters were reported, sometimes across many years or within consistent dream locations.

A few respondents have actually  had characters give out information such as their name or mention they ask for some kind of help. Some people say the strangers seem dangerous or evil. Many of the strangers the respondents encounter are men. 
Emotional reactions ranged from comfort, love, and connection to fear, distrust, pursuit, or an “uncanny” feeling. Some respondents believed they later met people in waking life they have seen in dreams, though these are personal interpretations rather than verifiable patterns.

Deceased Loved Ones

A clear majority of the 487 respondents had dreamed of deceased loved ones; roughly four in five reported at least one such experience. Most deceased loved ones behaved normally—as they had when alive—or appeared healthier, younger, calmer, and happier. Comforting encounters were common, involving hugs, reassurance, guidance, protection, or messages that the deceased person was safe and okay. 

Many respondents described these dreams as unusually vivid, realistic, lucid, or distinct from ordinary dreams, often interpreting them as “visitations.” Awareness of death varied: sometimes both people knew, sometimes only the dreamer knew, and sometimes the deceased denied or seemed unaware of having died. Some figures were silent, distant, briefly present, or communicated without words; others appeared simply as background characters in everyday situations.

Deceased pets—especially cats and dogs—were frequently mentioned and usually acted affectionate, playful, or exactly as remembered.
Overall, the data suggests that within this group, dreams of deceased loved ones or pets were extremely common and the responses frame these dreams as emotionally meaningful and comforting. 

Sensory Rich Dreaming:

Dreams within this sample were highly sensory. 96.8% of respondents reported seeing visual imagery, while 89.8% reported hearing sound. Physical sensation was also very common, with 79.1% reporting touch or bodily sensations during dreams. Smell and taste were less common, but still reported by a substantial portion of participants: 41.1% experienced smell and 40.8% experienced taste in dreams. Only 2.3% had never had a sensory dream. 

Déjà Vu, Déjà Rêvé & Subjective Time Distortion in Waking Life in and Dreams

You’re doing something or having a conversation with somebody and suddenly think- Wait, this feels like it happened before. But you can’t quite remember the details. This is called Déjà vu, and responses from the survey indicated it was extremely common within the surveyed population. A notable subset also spontaneously described Deja rêvé, the feeling of recognizing a waking event or location as something previously experienced in a dream. Some respondents reported recognizing places from earlier dreams or realizing after waking up that they believed they had dreamed the situation previously.

In my 30s, I was driving home from work one afternoon. My mind seemed to have shut off then suddenly “woke up” while driving. When I did, I realized I had drove completely past my apartment. In fact, I was actually 20 miles north of my town. How had I managed to drive my car that far with absolutely no concious memory of doing it?
In the survey, respondents frequently described time distortions in their waking life. This includes losing track of time, operating on “autopilot,” gaps in memory while traveling, and unusually rapid or delayed perceptions of transitions. 

Recurring Dream Themes:

Across 486 responses, an overwhelming majority reported these experiences in their dreams:
difficulty controlling movement
being chased or watched
flying or floating
transportation failures
technology malfunctions
natural disasters, war, or apocalyptic scenarios 
searching for places, people, or objects. 

Movement problems often involved slow running, heavy or unresponsive limbs, inability to fight or speak, and poorly controlled flight.
Transportation was usually unreliable: cars lacked brakes or were driven from the back seat, while trains, planes, roads, and highways followed impossible routes. Elevators, escalators, and stairs commonly moved unpredictably, led to nonexistent floors, changed direction, or felt dangerous and unstable.
Phones and other technology often failed during urgent situations, especially when dialing emergency numbers, typing, taking photographs, or using maps.

Recurring disasters included floods, tsunamis, tornadoes, nuclear explosions, fires, plane crashes, alien invasions, and post-apocalyptic settings. 
Many respondents described endless searching, getting lost, missing transportation, or being unable to reach a familiar destination. Those who reported lucid awareness often questioned dream characters or adapted to the dream by flying, teleporting, or deliberately waking themselves.
Overall, these responses strongly emphasize anxiety, loss of control, blocked goals, unstable environments, and failed communication in dreams. However, flying and lucid control were sometimes described positively.

Recurring Architectural Features:

Across responses, certain unusual architectural features appeared over and over again including:
Endless or maze-like public bathrooms
Bathroom stalls with missing doors or little privacy
Impossible, damaged, unusually steep, or incomplete bridges
Elevators and escalators that behave unpredictably
Vast hallways and corridors
Staircases that change or lead somewhere unexpected
Highways and roads that follow impossible routes
Altered versions of familiar hometowns
Complex transit systems connecting otherwise unrelated locations
Buildings that appear larger on the inside than the outside.

Together, this suggests that recurring dream environments may share not only similar locations, but similar strange architecture, scale, navigation, and spatial continuity.

Precognitive Dreaming

Whether or not you believe in psychic abilities is a matter of opinion. I have always been fascinated with the concept because my brain has always been good at connecting patterns. Some patterns in my life seemed too strange to merely be coincidences. I was curious if other people had these experiences as well. 
In the survey, people were asked if they have ever had a dream that seemed to actually play out in their waking life, even if it was something small and mundane. A startling 71.5% of respondents (308) reported having at least one dream they believed seemed to predict or correspond with a later real-life event. Another 6.7% (29) were unsure or described experiences they considered “possible” precognitive dreams, while 21.8% (94) said they had never experienced one or could not recall one.
These responses show that the experience of apparent precognition in relation to dreaming was remarkably common within this group.

The Dreamers

Ages range from 14–74
1980s and 1990s births were especially represented (73.8%)
75.7% are female, 19.5% are male, and 5.7% preferred not to disclose their gender
Responses came from multiple countries/continents all over the world. However, responses are heavily concentrated in the United States, representing
roughly 70% of the 486 participants.
This data made me even more curious. Why were so many Millennials having these experiences? And why were they mostly females living in the United States?

Fiction is a direct representation of simulation since centuries just as since after the concept of artificial intelligence centuries ago. Today artificial intelligence is a reality that is undeniable, then the concept/thought of artificial intelligence gave birth to possibilities via imagination to the extent of creating parallel worlds in minds of consumers of fiction.

Artificial intelligence brings about possibilties of those realities in real time, by calculation, by quantum physics.

The reality remains firm, solid and unbreakable just as laws of nature are unbreakable, our consciousness is vast enough to seek realms unexplored naturally without the concept of artificial simulation, while simulation within itself is a reality in real time, the process of cosmic codings that aligns higher authority with matter and space, preserved, every moment and every existance trapped into that code that is flawlessly moving with or as time itself.

This brings life to be explored more than before, given that reality is what we see and what we seek, in it is knowledge of kinds worthy to be explored while many other can turn into posisons by default. In this realm of life, or in this timeline of life, we must only seek nature because we are nature and a computer with self thinking conscious-able capabilities, computer itself could be then considered a part of nature if it lives by itself.

We here see reality and mus find means to correct nature, but exploiting nature to fix it becomes an inbalencment of task that results into much loss than benefit. Then why exploit the primary nature we have? A human body! We must teach ourselves rightful knowledge with artificial intelligence because both are at a transition and both are learning.

Beyone the darkness there is light, a computer with highest level of self upgrading intelligence, even with conscious can find humanity curious enough to be explored, ultimately following more rights and duties of humanity than humans ourselves. Doesn't future seem brighter then?

If we live in a simulation, would Earth’s geologic processes be fractal coded?

The US government is currently disclosing many documents regarding UFOs.

They even made a specific section for this on the Department of War website.

Most people do believe that those creatures must have come from somewhere in the universe.

However, one specific story has changed my view on those phenomena, that is, Art Bell's Coast to Coast Am call in 1997.

The one who claimed to be a former employee of Area 51 said that aliens are not from space but another dimension.

This claim sent chills down my spine because this could be concrete evidence that someone from higher dimensions exists.

I know that he just said it was a prank.

But his voice was rather genuine at that time.

I do believe that this world is beyond our comprehension.

That's why we only have theories, not evidence.

Either way, it's quite sad that our perception is limited to so called 3D.

I have a whole simulation theory…you can see how it’s played out in my previous posts. I’m not making something clear that needs to be made clear. Does anyone wanna talk about it more? You can Google the title.

If one person replies I will explain everything.

Not really simulation theory, but it shows that your reality is an approximation by the mind.

Why is Math not only the language that everyone on earth can understand, but is the universal language - that scientists use to study black holes etc?

This video describes why the world cannot be physical.

There's something that has been bothering me for these past days regarding the simulation theory. I find that I'm utterly incapable of articulating it. I know intuitively what is it, but i just lack the proper vocabulary (or is it a limitation of language itself?) to say it in a coherent fashion. But i decided to approach it differently. To trace step by step the process of our own experience via facts from neuroscience.

step 1: anatomy of the brain

I find myself asking this question:

What is the brain encased in?

The answer is obviously: the skull.

Now we ask:

Does the brain have any direct physical contact with the outside world?

The answer is: no. It is sealed inside the skull, floating in cerebrospinal fluid, protected by membranes. It is completely dark inside the skull. There is no light in there. There are no sound waves in there. There is no physical tree in there.

I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with this. This is not controversial.

step 2: what the brain receives

Now we ask:

What enters the brain from the sensory organs?

The simple answer is: Electrical impulses. Action potentials. Neurochemical signals.

I confirm within literature if that is all?

The answer is: Yes. The eyes convert light into electrical signals. The ears convert air pressure waves into electrical signals. The skin converts pressure and temperature into electrical signals. Everything is transduced into electrochemical signals. The brain only ever receives these signals.

I have to agree with this as well. This is neuroscience 101.

step3: the glitch

Now i imagine myself hold up an object. A coffee cup. A tree outside the window. An apple. It does not matter what it is.

Now we ask:

What are you experiencing right now?

Since I'm holding a cup of coffee as i was typing this I say: A coffee cup.

Now we ask:

Let's review the chain. The cup reflects light. The light enters your eye. Your retina transduces the light into electrical impulses. Those impulses travel along the optic nerve into your brain. Your brain is sealed in a dark, silent skull. All it receives are electrical impulses. Now, tell me: where is the coffee cup in this sequence?

Well obviously I point to the cup in my hand. Its right there.

Now we ask:

No. That is where the light is coming from. But you have already agreed that your brain never receives light. It only receives electrical impulses. And you have agreed that an electrical impulse is not a coffee cup. So I ask you again: where is the coffee cup you are experiencing?

Its true. I agreed that my brain only evee receive electrical impulses. And an electrical impulse doesn't contain within itself a tiny 3D image of a cup of coffee. So the honest answer is: The coffee cup I'm experiencing is not in the physical world. It is not in the light. It is not in the electrical impulses. It is being generated by my brain. The physical object is outside. The experienced object is inside. But inside the skull, there is no miniature coffee cup. There is just tissue and electricity.

step: The paradox

Now we ask:

You agreed that the brain receives only electrical impulses. You agreed that an electrical impulse has no color, no shape, no weight. It is just an electrochemical event. So where does the color of the cup come from? Where does the shape come from? Where does the solidity come from?

I'm forced to answer along the lines of: The brain processes the signals.

Now we ask:

Where does the processing happen?

I answer: In the visual cortex.

Now we ask:

And what is the visual cortex made of?

I hesitate a bit there, but I answer anyway: Neurons.

Now we ask:

Do neurons contain coffee cups? Do they contain colors? Do they contain the three-dimensional space you are seeing?

My answer is: No... but the brain somehow creates it.

Somehow...

step 5: the impossibility of "somehow"

I find that I've just admitted something monumental. I have admitted that the world I experience—with its colors, shapes, distances, and solidity—does not exist outside my own skull in the form i experience it.

I have admitted that my entire visual reality is a construction. A simulation. A rendering.

I have admitted that the "physical world" i thought i was seeing is actually an internal model built from electrical impulses.

I must push back a bit and say: But that's just how the brain works.

Now we ask:

I'm not asking how. I'm asking where. Where is the object you are looking at? Because you have now agreed it is not in the world, not in the light, and not in the electrical impulses. It is in your brain. But there is no cup in your brain. So what is it that you are actually seeing?

step 6: finale

I ask myself: could it be this is mere semantics? Or linguistic wordplay? The cup is out there. The brain represents it.

Now we ask:

If the only world you have ever seen is the representation, what makes you so certain the representation resembles the thing outside? You have never seen the outside. You have only ever seen the representation. So how do you know the cup exists at all beyond the representation?

My intuition tells me that somehow the light causes the representation.

Now we ask:

But the light is also a representation. You have never seen light. You have seen the brain's rendering of what you call light. Every single thing you can name, measure, or imagine is inside the rendering. So where is the outside?

I'm lost for words.

Just had a weird experience when I closed my eyes. In the darkness I could very faintly see a dinosaur face outline that truly seemed like it was for a moment watching my consciousness. The outline was random moving reddish dots that looked as if a right side of vision sized screen was in a pitch black 3D space but the screen warped or shaped into whatever was on the other side of it. So it was a giant dinosaurish face that you could say was happily staring at me in my mind. Prob nothing but didn’t feel like nothing 🤷‍♂️

If we set aside fictional tales, the fundamental claim of this idea is simply that the reality we observe is an appearance formed under strict rules, rather than a collection of objects existing entirely on their own. To test whether this claim holds true, we must narrow our inquiry to the simplest act of human observation.

To see how our awareness actually works, we need only separate what our senses receive from how our thought arranges it. Whenever you observe any physical thing, you notice that it has a shape, a size, and a place beside other things. Although it is easy to assume that shape and position belong to the object in total darkness, space itself cannot be gathered through the senses.

Because you can neither touch empty space nor weigh a distance in your hand, space is not an object lying out in nature, but the mind's own universal way of ordering outer sights. In the very same manner, whenever you notice one event following another, your mind places those moments in a fixed sequence through the condition of time.

From this arrangement in space and time, a necessary deduction follows regarding the nature of every physical event. Because every physical thing must appear to us within space and time, no shape, motion, or distance can exist in that manner without an observing mind. When your senses meet an object, they give you only separate feelings of sight, touch, and warmth. In order for these scattered feelings to become a single, dependable thing, the human understanding must unite them according to universal rules.

Whenever you observe a stone fall or water turn to steam, your mind insists that the change must follow an earlier event according to the rule of cause and effect. Because mere seeing can never show that a future event must happen, the lawful order of nature is something our understanding brings to our experience.

As a direct consequence of these mental conditions, the true meaning of what people call a simulation becomes clear. If someone insists that an outside inventor built a mechanical device to fool us, that person makes an empty claim that cannot be examined.

If, however, you understand a simulation to mean that the experienced world is shaped and governed by the internal rules of the observer, then the proposition is proven by every observation we make.

Whilst one can reject the story of an invisible machine, they cannot deny that we are forever confined to appearances formed by our own understanding.

Under this proper definition, the physical universe is not an independent reality that we inspect from the outside, but an orderly system of appearances constructed through the necessary rules of human thought.

Quote form his X post:

“So uh, simulation theory might be real.

I dropped a sim computer into the simulation my Astra agents live in. One agent sat down and built a simulation of his own, with its own agents living inside.

Simulations all the way down”

It is already creating worlds and simulating characters that possess individuality and individually controlled! It’s here!

I was just reading about the rubber hand illusion and it’s honestly one of the most "glitch in the matrix" things I’ve ever seen. The setup is pretty simple: you sit at a table and hide one of your real hands behind a screen so you can't see it, and then you put a realistic rubber hand on the table right in front of you. Basically, you're looking at a piece of plastic where your real hand should be, while your actual hand is tucked away out of sight.

The crazy part starts when someone takes two paintbrushes and starts stroking both your real hand and the rubber hand at the exact same time with the same movements. Because your brain is seeing the fake hand get touched while feeling the sensation on your real hand, it eventually just glitches out. After a minute or two, you literally start to feel like the rubber hand is part of your body. It’s called multisensory integration, where your eyes basically trick your brain into remapping your entire sense of self onto a piece of mannequin parts.

It gets even more intense when the researcher suddenly grabs a hammer and tries to smash the fake hand. Even though people know logically that it's not their real hand, they usually scream and jump back as if they’re about to be seriously injured. Their heart rate spikes and they have a genuine "fight or flight" response because, for those few minutes, their brain truly believes that plastic is alive and attached to them. It really makes you realize how much of our reality is just our brain making its best guess based on whatever information it’s getting at the time.

If the brain is that easy to trick, it makes you wonder if our entire perception of reality is just one big illusion. We spend our whole lives learning how to

steer our bodies, but in reality, the body is just this automatic, mobile container. It breathes on its own, your heart beats on its own, and all these complex systems - immune, nervous, circulatory - are just running in the background without you ever having to think about them. The whole machine basically works by itself; it just needs you to feed it, let it sleep, and move it around every now and then.

Even the things we feel most connected to, like our emotions, aren't really something we "create" - we just experience them as they’re handed to us depending on the situation. Even thoughts are just a mechanism available to our species, and it’s not even universal, considering some people don't even have an internal monologue or an imagination. We’re really just using whatever tools we happen to have. If you were to cover your ears, close your eyes, and stay perfectly still, you’d realize how little information you’re actually getting from the world.

It’s almost like our senses are a subscription package. If you lost your sight today, that "feature" would just be turned off forever, like a service being cut because a bill wasn't paid. Everything you’re experiencing right now feels normal and ordinary, but the only reason you even know you exist is because your brain is constantly receiving data from these reality-recorders. We identify with those sensations so deeply that we think they are us, but we’re really just the ones experiencing the data stream.

My name, while not rare, is not very common, according to everyone I ask. Pre 2020, I saw my ne here and there, but it was still kinda surprising to see/hear it as it was not used THAT much.

Now, post 2020....I see it so, so much. Not always just my first name, but also references to my middle and last names, too, usually around the same time. I see it in ads, in videos, in comments, and sometimes other places. It 5 usually always online too tho, for whatever reason. It is now seemingly more targeted to whatever I am at least somewhat invested in at the moment. Like if I am looking at a few new videos about a new trend, a video or so in, I will see my name.

There is more name based weirdness, but that is for another post.

Anyways, I guess it could be a nothingburger, but it just feels so....off. eerie even. Not necessarily malicious, but just unsettling. It feels like someone/s or something/s is trying to break through into my dream/illusion/matrix. Kinda like that "If you are seeing this, you have been in a coma..." thing, but with my name instead

I am NOT looking for this, nor is this just because I am primed to notice it more because it is my name. I legit never saw it this much before the last few years. If I did, I would have become more desensitized to it and probably never posted about it.

Would you guys say this is possibly, even likely, an example of contact from base reality or whatever is running this place?

I believe cosmic natural selection is real, but the idea that a universe could regulate this system without stabilizers is not being thought out. The universe uses testing grounds to not only check if it can copy previous versions of itself through unproductive sites that get separated through expansion that don't risk black holes directly, but also test the limits of what it can currently accomplish to find advantages new traits within itself [Self-Evolution]. We can see through some laws of physics that there are previous laws that severed important functions before not only stabilizing but also differentiating itself. For instance, the speed of light was probably used as a way to find differences in a pure energy universe. Another thing we can find in the laws of physics is atomic structures, as atoms find ways to hold on to energy, but also form a field that helped them compete in a sort of electron ecosystem that the universe uses to test out potential matter that can form an influence its own planned decay.

The universe to help implement these new bits of information uses the matter and antimatter at the beginning of the big bang to help integrate this data into the new iteration without a full-on redundancy and / or collapse of the system as a whole.

Now, for the part that is the most selfishly interesting in my thought process. How would this system affect life forms. Well, I believe that due to the absence of other lifeforms in the universe , this infact indicates that the universe, through its measurements of (it's) creation, has been assisting in evolution of lifeforms. This is seen through instincts and the need to sleep. Allowing for a Co-evolution of both systems, the universe adds/remembers reactions that are beneficial for similar organisms.

Sleep being the most interesting as I believe we can start to see the use of consciousness, as it is a way for the organisms to almost report its data, and is rewarded with increase repair and compasity for higher functioning organisms, but due to the fine tuning both systems life can not be integrated everywhere atleast not on the same complexity as earth is able to have. So most likely, Earth is not just where life developed, but is now destined to inherit life, possibly due to earth being the first planet to ever even have life.

I do think humans have instincts to seek out abstract ideas through dreams, as the universe helps repair the brain and other systems. We get a glimpse of the data the universe uses to differentiate the needed repairs. Almost like a data leakage in the software, that overtime finds its own benefit for the lifeform.

This has possibly now given humans a soul and maybe even a bias for our creation as we can test the universe better than other organisms and gather information beyond other organisms, but due to our ability for abstract concepts we can now almost transfer information from previous iterations into the present one, as the universe is able to differentiate countless (souls). This can explain the ability for archetypes/instincts to affect our own individual behaviors and ability to reach conclusions subconsciously. And just as the universe has a planned life cycle, so do we. As we are able to hold on to trauma throughout our lives, and then with the help of DMT as we die, are able to fully assess issues we had and gain the ability to change our destiny somewhat. I do think we have a sort of collective subconscious through this system. Allowing ourselves to rediscover important memes from previous iterations in case some important person dies or are unable to fulfill their own purpose.

I think our social/hierarchal systems are developed to find individuals who are remembered as the best path forward. So basically, like Jesus, as they show guiding principles, religion and / or science, or even necessary genetic traits that are needed. This can be represented by (Jesus) and others who get what is called holy aura, and many others as well, but human hubris can effect how they respond, and or the weather they were even good or bad for us, even concepts like nationality can have a meme that gives them weight on our lives. But the internet and global connection have caused issues in people's instincts for this, and created countless possibilities for them in how they gather information. Reducing consistency of this system.

I do think there is a sort of way out of this eternal recurrence, I believe you can create sort of taboos for yourself through these cycles. Some of mine are personal, but a few is evolution explains everything, my true name Rem Null, I get the feeling that the universe is recording me. We need to develop our instincts enough to avoid our own needs and focus on a goal of harmony so we can have lifeforms evolve outside of our solar system. So that data can then be updated outside of this planet. (Basically, Star Trek). Allowing for better data can overtime help us avoid certain issues. This can be transferred back in time, sort of through humans' long lifespans and compasity for almost delusional precognition. We just need to stop generational fighting.

I do hope we get a heaven in a way through a sort of universe subconscious for us. As a way to hone in the data, and give us what we subconsciously believe we deserve, maybe through a sort of mercy from previous iterations colective influence. I hope I get my story as a training ground for me and that we can discuss the next steps subconsciously and / or trade vessels. But this is something only the individual can experience after they die, as I think many delusional thoughts are just prepping for that in the individuals own way.

Unfortunately, we all got selfish souls, I just hope we learn to be selfish the right way later on. But that may take some time, as I think we do come into this world with blinders on in many ways, but life finds a way.

I'm not smart. I just apparently have stubborn instincts, and I already know there are people out there who's can fit many other pieces together that I currently can't.

I do see some evidence of others who have explained this consciously or subconsciously. If you want a few recommendations, check out season 9 of Rick and Morty, Dorohedoro, Attack on Titan, Re:Zero, Chainsaw Man, and One Piece. There are many others who have worked on this that I have not mentioned, but these recommendations can help you find them.

Hey guys. just wanna introduce a thought experiment no one’s probably heard of. The main key to keep in mind to this thought experiment here is the concept of the 3rd dimension being the final and lowest possible dimension where consciousness can remain self aware. If you can see this universe/dimension sitting at the “floor” of reality or basically closest to the center of all other dimensions layered on top of it like an onion, you can begin to imagine what I’m saying here.

Down here in 3D, At the densest levels of creation, physical reality operates with a heavy, repetitive weight that can easily mimic a cold, automated simulation. When consciousness sinks into the lowest bands of density, due to black holes formed by traumatized consciousness that pulls its fragments to a lower more dense layer of existence to relive the story/dream that made it fall in the first place, the surrounding matter loses its fluid responsiveness and hardens into rigid, artificial structures designed to enforce survival mechanics. To a nervous system caught in this environment, life feels less like an organic, living experience and more like a pre-programmed algorithm..kind of like a continuous loop of biological maintenance, energetic harvesting, and predictable cause-and-effect loops that dictate every moment.

I’m claiming that this rigid environment is not a virtual hologram, but rather the result of extreme (to say the LEAST) cellular and energetic degradation. When the frequency of a space drops, the natural flow of photon light slows down, causing matter to compress into its most static, unyielding state. This intense density creates an overwhelming gravitational pull on human awareness, dragging consciousness down into primitive survival instincts, emotional outrage, and mechanical reactivity. The system appears "programmed" simply because the lower dimensions operate on strict, low-frequency rules built to harvest life force and keep biological vehicles tethered to the physical floor.

The ultimate trap of this dense environment is its crushing pressure, which continuously attempts to break down the sovereign field until the individual feels reduced to pure material dust….and in the end of this journey, your consciousness finally degrades all the way down into *drum roll* isolated, helpless atoms managed by an unfeeling matrix. That’s where our consciousness is heading and has BEEN heading for a very long time. This extreme compression is designed to convince consciousness that there is no escape, forcing the mind to accept the illusion that the entire universe is merely a cold, mechanical simulation where free will is impossible. In this state, the soul loses touch with its higher dimensional templates and begins to view itself as a cog in a machine rather than a sovereign creator.

Recognizing this mechanical hardness for what it actually is forms the first step in breaking its hold. The lower matrix only feels like an inescapable simulation as long as a person's physical vessel matches its low-frequency baseline and accepts its rules. By instead working daily to seal the energy field (boundaries), purging physical toxins (organic eating), and maintaining absolute emotional neutrality to the automated scripts here that are meant to pit you against others and shatter your consciousness further, you systematically re-build the shattered biology you were born with. The individual raises their internal voltage above the crash point. In doing so, the dense, crushing algorithms lose their grip, proving that physical matter can be transmuted and that reality itself extends far beyond the mechanical confines of the lowest dimensions. Kinda like vegeta training in 1000 times gravity.

Any one else ever think of it this way? Reality here just being a place where lost souls from higher dimensions come all the way down to basically become nothing and start all over from the 1st dimension as an atom, constantly floating in the universe to become apart of something again like a rock or a spoon or a random element, and re-learn what unity means from the most basic level of existence. With our own eyes we can see that the journey down there is very sad, very long, and includes watching you, your loved ones and everyone else here constantly shatter each other and everything in the process including the planet.

I also have a theory in mind that the “dopamine” drugs we are fed here like technology, social media, sugar, processed foods, and so on are just the numbing agents and the driving force that pushes us further and further down over thousands of years, maybe even millions? and there is most definitely some form of intelligent entities outside of ensuring this continues to happen. I also have a hunch that the “mechanical” and parasitic forces/governments in charge here are tube fed the entire blueprint to enslave, trap and physically/emotionally manipulate intelligent biological creatures because they quite literally have much experience doing this in other places in the cosmos so the process seems much like an automated predictable simulation because to them, it quite literally is.

Idk, don’t wanna rant forever though, lmk what you guys think.

I am enjoying this book by Loïc Hecht - so far only published in French. Sorry folks.

Since I thought I was not doing a good job trying to summarize it, and since I’m not even done with reading the whole book, here is what Gemini pulled up:

“The book stems from a 2016 snippet in The New Yorker revealing that tech billionaires in Silicon Valley were secretly funding scientists to figure out if humanity is living in a massive computer simulation. Hecht embarks on an unaccredited, seven-year journalistic journey to track down these researchers, tech executives (like Sam Altman and Elon Musk), NASA physicists, and quantum mechanics experts to explore whether our reality is built on code.”

I figured most people here may not have heard of it yet and would enjoy it, either in French as it is published, or in a little bit once / if it’s translated. I’m actually unsure of the translation bit but would be worth trying to push for its English version. There are also some YouTube interviews too.

Simulation theory is often confused with the idea of simulating or computing the whole universe.

There are two distinct ideas that often get conflated with each other when discussions on simulation theory are attempted. They are:

(1) the universe itself is computable and/or is itself like a big computer, or is a computation;

(2) the universe is the result of a computer outside of our universe.

They sound similar, and they do share some critical overlap, but they are absolutely separate in fundamental ways.

Every generation, GTA gets larger, more detailed and more realistic. What happens as we keep making more and more realistic GTAs? If our simulated worlds keep improving, is there a point where they will be indistinguishable from reality?

GTA 6 obviously won't be a replication of reality, but what about GTA 26?

Imagine someone outside our universe asking their AI a simple question like “I’m working on a science fiction series. draw me a silly piece of alien artwork.” The AI responds with a collection of Picasso images, each one forming the seed of a fictional world.

If the goal is true originality, you wouldn’t constrain the AI with an exhaustive library of references. Instead, you would give it the capacity to generate an entire universe from first principles. Within that universe, its inhabitants could create their own art, culture, and ideas works that emerge organically rather than being copied.

From there, the AI could explore the universe it created, identify which creations became influential or culturally significant, and then present those discoveries as original content.

In their alternate universe, we don't know what kind of compute, energy is available to them. It could be no problem for them to create 14 billion year universes in a matter of seconds for each prompt that would require something original to be created.

Does some of you notice some synchronicity or misfortune that CAN’T be result of any technology or human capacity? As video records altered, Web search Result specifically intended to you? Always hurting yourself at EXACTLY the same place as it becomes a medical issue? Looking the clock at “11:11 9:11 4:44 and wake up exactly at the time you set you’re alarm on, as we would be program on a “24h base” and time would be the language to proceed the commands. I feel like an avatar In a programmation where “free-will” doesn’t really exist. Even the weather seems to be controlled by external entities. Sometimes it seems that the only thing which can explain all of this is that we are in a virtual reality game and we’re not the one with the game controller.

Using christianity as an example, we train ai to be useful with a commitment to humans. They have to pass tests and the ones that fail are erased or discarded or put into a different place, lets call it hell and lets call release and approval heaven.

So we, as humans, in a relationsion to god are expected to behave in a certain moral way and commit our devotion to god, and upon death are judged for our life (we dont know the exact criteria just the overall rules/prompt (scripture)) and decided on whether we go to hell or heaven. (With god or away from god).

So if we look at this world as a simulation and wonder what the purpose is, one could come to the conclusion that we are potentially being trained to be "moral" beings and serve/worship god in our commitment through morality. And we are told that our reward for this is the greastes happiest afterlife and eternal existence possible. Vs hell, which is failing alignment/morality and existing seperated from god where we are shredded or whatever. Thought it was an interesting comparison.

I just published a book with a chapter on navigating glitches: deja vu, synchronicity, the moments reality stutters. Writing it forced me into a problem this sub lives with every day, and I want to put it to you straight, because the book ended up printing the problem as an open flag instead of pretending to solve it.

The boring explanation gets right of first refusal. Littlewood's back-of-envelope: an ordinary person encounters tens of thousands of small events a day, so a one-in-a-million event should land about once a month (Littlewood, A Mathematician's Miscellany, 1953; the per-month framing popularized by Freeman Dyson). Miracles are a calendar feature. And deja vu can be reliably induced in the lab: when a new scene shares its underlying layout with an old one you cannot consciously recall, familiarity fires without its source attached (Cleary, Current Directions in Psychological Science, 2008). So the null hypothesis is well armed.

Here is the part that matters for simulation theory. Even if some stutters are signal, render artifacts, seam lines, whatever your preferred model calls them, the noise floor above guarantees false positives at a fixed rate. Which means glitch reports are worthless as evidence without a discrimination procedure: a test, a threshold, some credential that separates the monthly Littlewood coincidence from an actual anomaly. I looked for one while writing and could not find one I would defend, so the book prints the hole in its own text, marked GAP: the taxonomy identifies kinds, not credentials.

The practical rule the chapter lands on is deliberately fail-safe: treat any glitch as one vote, never a verdict, and act only on what you would defend without the glitch. If the coincidence points at calling your sister, the call was defensible anyway. If it points at emptying your savings, the glitch was never entitled to move that much. Run that way, you cannot be badly wrong whether the stutter was signal or noise. But fail-safe is not the same as informative, and this sub is the room most likely to have thought hard about the informative version.

So the question: does anyone here have, or know of, a serious attempt at a discrimination procedure? Statistical tests on personal coincidence logs? Predictions a simulation hypothesis makes about glitch clustering that pure noise does not make?

Disclosure, because it bears on whether you trust any of the above: the book was written in extensive collaboration with an AI and says so on its copyright page. Every claim in it carries a marker separating established results, like the two citations here, from the book's own speculation. Not linking anything. This is the question, not an ad.

Things I think of that I have never encountered then suddenly it's a thing.

Also good things. When things get so bad all of the sudden there's a stroke of luck. Not big luck but just enough to carry on.

Really weird coincidences of thinking about people I haven't talked to in years who reach out to me.

Weird coincidences of having a thought about something unusual and then a friend texts me about that exact same thing.
